Overview
8BitsCrew is an iPhone and iPad client for compatible OpenClaw and Hermes systems that you operate or are authorized to use. It does not create an account with 8BitsForge.
OpenClaw, Hermes, and all related names and marks belong to their respective owners. 8BitsCrew is an independent client and is not affiliated with or endorsed by those projects.
The app contains no advertising and does not track your activity across other companies’ apps or websites.
Information stored by the app
8BitsCrew can store connection profiles, app settings, conversations, attachments, documents, and diagnostic records on your device. Authentication tokens and configured provider keys use Apple Keychain.
If you enable synchronization, supported profile information, settings, secrets, and Dynamic Doc Canvas information can use your private iCloud account and iCloud Keychain.
Gateways and providers you choose
Messages, attachments, commands, and connection information are sent to the gateway you select. Your gateway and its configured AI providers process that information under their own settings and policies.
When your systems and models are local or privately hosted, your information can remain within the devices and networks you control. Selecting an external gateway, model, or voice provider sends the information needed for that feature to that provider.
Voice services
Apple speech services are used when selected. If you configure ElevenLabs, microphone audio can be sent for transcription and reply text can be sent for speech. If you configure VoiceBox, reply text is sent to the server you selected and audio is returned to the app.
Diagnostics and support
Diagnostic information remains on your device unless you deliberately copy or export it. Review any diagnostic material before sharing it.
When you email support, 8BitsForge receives the email address and information you choose to include. Never send gateway tokens, passwords, private keys, personal conversations, or unreviewed diagnostics.
Retention and deletion
App-held data remains until you remove it through available controls or delete the app. Keychain and synchronized iCloud information can require separate removal. Information held by a gateway or provider must be managed through that system.
Support correspondence is retained only as needed to respond, maintain service history, meet legal obligations, or resolve disputes.
Contact and changes
Privacy questions can be sent to [email protected]. Include only the information needed to answer the question.
This policy will be updated when verified data flows or service providers materially change.
